Mamta Gupta

Methi seeds are considered very Nutritious in Ayurveda and are used in many medications. They contains protein, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and iron. Used sprouted, in salads and leaves cooked as a vegetables, methi cleanses the body. Leaves are high in sulphur and chlorine, which gives them cleansing properties. This simple salad is very easy to make. If you do not have a â€˜sprouter, wash and soak seeds overnight and leave them wrapped in a moist cloth at room temperature. Wash the cloth and seeds in fresh water each morning. They will germinate within 24-36 hours. You can also grow them in small ramekins lined with paper towel.If you let them grow a bit longer, tender-young leaves can be added to salads (see last picture). Serves 2
